Camera Test for JVC GY-HM100U A.K.A. Pretentious Art Film

[hypnosiscenternyc]

More than I ever wanted to know about your toilet. I wonder if the upgrade .... HM150 ... has image stabilizaton. It's one of the last of the 3ccd cameras. Sales Guy up at bhphoto said manufacturers are saving a cool billion going CMOS, but spend an hour on youtube and you can see the quality difference.

First Rate Production. Loved it.

[MuthaHustla]

OMG... Nice piece! Who is the music score??? That is so hot...

[demboys18]

Anybody have an idea on the ASA for this camera?  Been getting all kinds of answers.

[simon1234simon]

Woooow! Very nice! I have the same cam. What settings did you use(zoom, iris, shutter, gain) when filming? Anyway i love this camera, it's very good. The only bad thing about it is the deep DOF. Deep DOF is nice to have, but when there is a closeup of two people talking, you need shallow DOF so i use Canon 5D Mk II there. For everything else this camera. If i do documentary like video i just put a wide angle lens on this camera and it's all i need.

What program did you use to edit your footage? Final Cut Pro?

[luxury054]

what was the music you used

[luxury054]

Excellent ! J'adore j'ai cette caméra depuis peu ! So nice, i like this, i just bought this camera...

What was the music you used?

Thx to Paris

[KutWrite]

Hmmm nice video.

You've got serious plumbing problems though!

[IndyFlie]

Actually, canon says they have incorperated an OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). My questions are I know it works poorly in low light situations because of the 1/4" chip do you know the ASA/ISO which I couldn't find? And how hard is it to throw things out of focus (i.e. open aperture, length of lens)? thanks, great footage.

Awesome!!! I just bought this camera on ebay used, with an extra battery and 8gb sd card. I also have 2 16gb class 10 cards. So stoked to get this camera! Ill have it by Tuesday!! It will end up around 3000 with the duties. So excited! Awesome video!

[PlayerzAcademy]

nice

[PlayerzAcademy]

nice

[NYGIANTPRIDE]

Oh yeah... What settings were you using? Shooting 108024p?

[NYGIANTPRIDE]

Just got one of these today... Looking forward to my first project with it...

The toilet shot is nice, lol... Did you use a dolly or steady cam for that?

[AtomicIlk]

@NYGIANTPRIDE It's a home made dolly I made a few years back.

And yeah I shot 108024p

[NYGIANTPRIDE]

@AtomicIlk Thanks.

I actually shot zero budget short film with a wheelchair as a dolly. I've also seen a rig you could make from a tripod mount, plywood, skateboard wheels and PVC pipe.

Nice job, great images. I bought this camera a few weeks ago and I love it.

[DramaKidStudioz]

okay

[SuperEd86]

I'm really thinking about getting this cam. Any major cons? And are you using a lens adapter on this?

[AtomicIlk]

Only major con is that it's not that good for hand held stuff. There's no stabilizer on the camera so a lot of the stuff iv done hand held with it just looks WAYYY too shaky and digital looking for my tastes.

And no, there is no lens adapter. That's the camera out of the box.

[acirak]

@AtomicIlk According to the JVC Web site, the GY-HM100U does have an optical image stabilization.

[ZaryProductions]

what song was that?

[AtomicIlk]

It's from a Supernatural promo for Season Five.

[SuperEd86]

Nice use of the "Papyrus" font in the intro titles. ;)

[AtomicIlk]

Well its just pretentious enough!

[lfr858]

This was one Great video. Keep up the good work. gil

[dubnmike]

Wow really cool. Never thought a bathroom would be so interesting. Like your focusing.

[zomaninc]

Nice,,,,, what was the music you used!

[pimpazoid]

i like this film

[divisionalmedia]

Nicely done.

Were the blue colored scenes shot "day for night" style, or were they actually more of actual low light shots? Thanks!

[AtomicIlk]

They were low light shots. I shot everything at around 11 o clock at night, and it's all gel'd lighting. No color correction.

[maxmays1]

is this used with the stock lense? this is amazing i was not expecting this out of such a small camera..dont get me wrong JVC makes some very good stuff but i wasnt expecting this. good job

[AtomicIlk]

Yeah, that's the stock lens. No filters.

[mrwashur1991]

was this shot at 24p?

[AtomicIlk]

Yes, 1920x1080 24p.

[Haberslam]

this just made my day! -Ashley

[n2nother]

Dude, you know what? I actually really liked it. I watched it 3 times.

[martell4]

Yes! I would like to know what settings you used. and where did you purchase the camera and for how much (3500??4k??less??))any accessorizes? did you edit your film in final cut pro(ver.?)

thanks!

[AtomicIlk]

The camera was purchased by a producer I frequently work with, and $2800 from JVC. The settings i used were gamma: cinema, knee: high, telephoto/macro was on, low gain (i had it set to zero) I shot on 1/150 shutter, and my iris was wide open.

Stock lens, no color correction, and yes edited on final cut pro.

[besjan007]

stock lens? is that standard on the camera or did you have to use another lens? thanks

[AtomicIlk]

It's a nifty little camera. The best thing about it is that it records everything to .mov files, so you just have to drag and drop into your capture scratch and you have the clips ready to go for final cut pro.
